EGM: "Now, Ill admit that my time with Blacklist was brief. It may well be that once the game is finally out in the wild and people have picked up on the most effective mercenary tactics, the game will settle into a much more familiar balance. Even if it doesnt, Im not entirely certain that what I played was any less fun than my fond memories of Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory; it was just different. Truth be told, I can already see myself sinking dozens, if not hundreds, of hours into Blacklists multiplayer. The rules may have changed, the balance may have shifted, but at its heart, this is still the Spies vs. Mercs mode I fell in love with nearly a decade ago."

GR:The classic multiplayer mode makes a return in Blacklist (originally conceived in Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow). A team of Mercs, playing from a first-person perspective (FPS-style), takes on a team of Spies playing in Splinter Cell's classic third-person perspective, in objective-based matches. In the 2-on-2 classic mode, players are outfitted with limited equipment, dropped in a shadowy map, and tasked with hacking (or defending) multiple data terminals. The updated 4-on-4 Blacklist mode modernizes Spies vs. Mercs with new equipment and abilities, as well as a progressive weapon and equipment unlock system. The Mercs' armory includes equipment like enemy-tagging drones, heavy armor, and tech-jamming devices. Conversely, spies can equip themselves with devices that help them stay undetected, using invisible digital ghillie suits, enemy location scanners, and equipment-destroying EMP devices

CVG:One of the brutally simple rules of evolution is the fact that if a species' landscape changes and it does not rise to adapt to that change, it dies.
